Unknown house, Central Texas, exterior | Multiple single story houses shown. One in foreground is stone with panel roof, a chimney, and a porch with balustrade and front gate. House or added structure at right has a chimney, shingle roof, porch, possibly a patio area with thatched roof, and two trees and a ladder visible in the yard. A windmill with visible printing on the vane stands behind, and the top of another windmill is visible in a neighboring area. Another house lies to the left, with gable, roof, and chimney visible, with part of an additional shingle roof also visible. A picket fence stretches back from foreground right.
